    The laboratory report summarizes 3 experiments conducted by a student: 1) measuring the acceleration of a marble ball rolling down an inclined plane from different distances, 2) measuring the acceleration due to gravity for a falling marble ball and plastic ball dropped from various heights, and 3) analyzing the results through graphs and calculations. The experiments found that acceleration decreases with increasing distance or height, and the heavier marble ball experiences greater acceleration due to gravity than the lighter plastic ball.

    Abstract
    A.Physics is the best tool for deriving the equations that control a body's motion in a
    straight line. If one of the three mathematical relations, distance-time, velocity-
    time, or acceleration-time, is established, the others can be obtained by
    differentiation or integration, as required. If a precise mathematical relationship
    cannot be found, graphical methods can be used instead. The set of graphs shown
    below refers to the motions of the experiment the group did such as Motion of a
    marble ball on an inclined plane,Free falling body of a Marble and Plastic Ball.
    The group divided the following activities that needs to be done and provided their
    own materials needed, it is followed by the listing of data on each trial provided in
    the graphs and table below. There are small differences in the 3 trials in every
    activity. Upon finishing the experiments we therefore can conclude that the there is
    indeed a relationship between time, velocity and distance. Given an equations, these
    three is what we all need to come up with answers that are also needed in other
    formulas, vice versa. In addition, a speed at which an object falls is probably relative
    to its mass. In other words, if two objects are the same size but one is heavier, the
    heavier one has greater density than the lighter object. Therefore, when both
    objects are dropped from the same height and at the same time, the heavier object
    should hit the ground before the lighter one
